Overview

Riedel's thyroiditis must be differentiated from other causes of thyroiditis, such as De Quervain's thyroiditis, Hashimoto's thyroiditis, Riedel's thyroiditis, and suppurative thyroiditis.

Differentiating Riedel's Thyroiditis from other Diseases

Conditions Causes Age at onset Pathological findings Diagnostic approach
